1. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALSO REGISTERED YOUR PLAYER WITH THEIR HOME ASSOCIATION. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL PREVENT YOUR PLAYER FROM BEING ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN TRYOUTS.
2. ARRIVE WITH ENOUGH TIME TO SIGN-IN AND FOR YOUR PLAYER TO GET DRESSED IN ORDER TO BE READY 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO ASSIGNED ICE TIME.
3. DOUBLE CHECK THE LOCATION AND TIME OF TRYOUT OFTEN – SCHEDULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
4. DON’T FORGET TO BRING A WATER BOTTLE WITH PLAYER’S NAME.
5. ALWAYS BRING BOTH TRYOUT JERSEYS AS SQUAD ASSIGNMENTS MAY CHANGE.
6. DON’T BRING VALUABLES INTO THE CHANGE ROOMS.
7. CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK YOUR CHILD'S HOCKEY BAG TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING THAT SHOULD BE IN THERE, IS. DON'T LET MISSING GARMENTS OR EQUIPMENT ADD TO AN ALREADY STRESSFUL SITUATION.
8. CHECK THAT YOUR CHILD'S SKATES ARE THE RIGHT SIZE AND THAT THEY ARE SHARPENED. IF HE/SHE IS WEARING NEW GEAR, GET HIM/HER USED TO IT IN A PRESEASON CONDITIONING CAMP OR SAVE THE NEW ELBOW PADS FOR MID-SEPTEMBER.
9. ALLOW PLENTY OF TIME FOR TRAFFIC AND GETTING INTO GEAR. REMIND YOUR CHILD, NEVER BE THE LAST ONE ONTO THE ICE OR THE FIRST ONE OFF.
10. DIRECT ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT TRYOUTS TO THE TRYOUT LIAISON MENTIONED ON THE OSMHA WEBSITE AND NOT TO THE COACH.
11. PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER THE PEOPLE EVALUATING THE TRYOUT.
12. IT IS A LONG ROAD. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR CHILD
